Solo Dance Xchange

Produced by Kaeja d'Dance as part of Xtraordinary TO Dances (XTOD), the Solo Dance Xchange (SDX) is a platform for 22 extraordinary Toronto dance artists to intimately expose and fertilize each other's creative process with essences of what makes them who they are. A multiplicity of generations and practices, these artists will perform a 3-minute stage solo inspired by another's original improvised XTOD film footage, shot in the summer of 2017. This gateway between dance artists and their practices is a unique eye into what makes each dancer move and respond.

A dream that Karen Kaeja has incubated for a decade, we invite you to join us for an ever-evolving evening of 22 solos, live music and a deeply engaging talk back. The original 22-minute XTOD film, conceived and directed by Allen Kaeja, all shot in various locations within Toronto, will be screened each evening before the show. Witness the essence of our imagination!
